This year's pre-conference dinner will be held on Thursday May 12th, on the eve of the conference.

The dinner will be held at Baltic. The aim is to provide conference participants with an extra opportunity to network and mingle in a more private arena.

The event will commence with a champagne reception from 18:00 and dinner will be served at 20:00.

We are delighted to announce that Patrick Dunne will be our after dinner speaker. Patrick is the Group Communications Director at 3i and has a wealth of experience in the European Private Equity market.

As with the conference itself, the drescode for the dinner will be smart casual
